ESDA news

October 2002 News & Events

ESDA is an association of electronic security distributors, whose goal is to maintain a high standard of professionalism in the security industry. The association is trying to foster co-operation with all members of the security industry to support the use of security products to better the society and community in which we live. ESDA, in essence, represents an industry that has become highly sophisticated with respect to technology and therefore professionalism has become even more important than ever.

ESDA should be a source of information to our members. By keeping our members informed and up-to-date they will be able to operate at a more effective level. Recently ESDA has been at the forefront of the negotiations with the Security Industry Regulatory Authority and continues to look out for opportunities that will benefit its members. It is important for the industry to communicate and ESDA creates a neutral forum where opposition can network and work together towards the collective interests of the electronic security industry.
